YouTube has been spotted testing server-side ads, which could pose a problem to ad blockers.

    I used to pay for youtube premium. My logic being that I was using an adblocker anyway, and I wanted the content creators I watched to get some kind of revenue for my watchtime. Youtube stopped taking my money a while back, and I can’t be bothered to figure out why. These days, there’s so little content that I find interesting that I spend more time scrolling than I do actually watching videos. It’s only a matter of time until I just stop regularly going to youtube.

        I paid for it before they removed Google Play Music. I was on one of the plans that was $8 for both Google Play Music and YouTube Red.

      Too Much engagement slop being pumped into the feed and you can’t block offenders on teevee app…

      WTF I lay for this. If I don’t want to see some clown, I should be able to block.

      I report them for misconduct and it seems to reduce the spam but they come back in few weeks amyway…

      Like no I don’t want linus, I don’t want brownlee apple whore… Just stop.
